In the center of Gunung Leuser National Park, specifically in the Bukit Lawang area, lies a breathtaking tropical landscape that is home to a wide variety of rare wildlife.

One of the main appeals of this area is the presence of Sumatran orangutans living freely in their natural habitat. Watching orangutans swing through the trees is a special moment that inspires awe and a renewed awareness of the importance of preserving nature. In addition to orangutans, this area is also home to various other animals such as siamangs, long-tailed macaques, exotic birds, and rare flora unique to Indonesia’s tropical forests.

A variety of nature-based tourism activities can be enjoyed in Bukit Lawang, ranging from trekking through the forest, river tubing, camping, to wildlife conservation education. These activities not only provide an adventurous experience for tourists but also serve as a source of income for the local community. Local residents actively participate as tour guides, forest rangers, lodge managers, and local business owners who support environmental conservation and the protection of wildlife.
